So, you have a slate lock file sitting around.  You should quiesse the system 
to the point you know the lock file isn't being used and then remove it.  That 
has little, if anything to do with kwallet and is more likely caused by a 
kmail or kontact crash or hang.

The address book is not password protected.

You have no proof or even evidence that there is a back door in kwallet.  You 
are being paranoid.  As Duncan mentioned, missing files are more likely the 
result of a fault file system journal or other file system issues than the 
result of a kwallet back door.

If you have some actual claims, they can be investigated.  (IIRC, OpenBSD 
ships KDE and has little to no qualms about calling out security issues in 
software.)  Until then, please don't claim there is a back door without 
qualifying it; it needlessly scares others.

There is *NOT* "clearly a back door".  That's a vast overstatement of your 
experience.
